Conservation District Corner

Kansas Conservation Districts are proud to be leading the way in promoting soil health. Soil health is the key to the future productivity of agriculture and the production of our natural resources. The overall goal continues to be increasing conservation on the ground by bringing people together in locally-led soil conservation efforts.

By focusing more attention on soil health and by educating the public about the positive impact healthy soils can have on productivity and conservation, we can help farmers and ranchers feed the world more profitably and sustainably, now and for generations to come.

Congratulations to Judy Boltman, District Manager of the Shawnee County Conservation District, for being selected as the recipient of the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education Excellence (KACEE) in Conservation and Environmental Education Award.
